1:19Now PlayingIran's president said former U.S. President Donald Trump must be punished with a death sentence for the killing of top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani.
A massive memorial was held in Tehran on Monday for Soleimani, who was killed by a U.S. drone strike in Iraq in 2020.
Speaking at the ceremony, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi demanded Trump, as the "main aggressor and murderer", must be “prosecuted and killed.”
"If not, I’m telling all American leaders, don’t doubt that the hand of revenge will come out of the sleeves of ummah," Raisi said, referring to the worldwide community of Muslims.
Monday's events highlight tensions in the Middle East, which has been roiled by Trump's 2018 decision to unilaterally withdraw America from a deal aimed at limiting Tehran's nuclear program.
As talks continue in Vienna to try to resuscitate the 2015 nuclear accord, Iran remains able to apply pressure from outside of the negotiations even as it is squeezed by sanctions and a shadow war with Israel.
